Benaki Museum visit and dinner

I really enjoyed our first experiential language class, it’s a great way to practice what we’ve been learning in the language classes. After all, speaking the language is much more effective in becoming fluent, than just learning in the classroom. An inside look to the Greek coffee culture…

Throughout the week, we have had the privilege of going to many historical sites within the city of Athens. Every historical site has been beautiful and has had a special effect on each and every individual on this trip. Today, we had the privilege of going to the beautiful Benaki Art Museum in downtown Athens. It gave me a very realistic insight into my family’s history and the types of jewelry and attire they wore during their lives in Greece. All of the beautiful artifacts really made me feel connected to my family’s history and culture and I hope that I have the privilege of returning some day soon.
